Eagles trounced Manisa and qualified for next year’s UEFA Cup: 5-1

Black and White exploded out of the gates and scored 4 goals in just over 10 minutes.

Nobre drew first blood with a clever header in the opening minute. Ibrahim Kas’s finish during a goal-line scrimmage put the Eagles two up 3 minutes later. Ali Tandogan took a brilliant pass from Delgado in the 7th and slid the ball past Manisaspor’s goalkeeper into the visitors net to make it 3-0 for Besiktas. Before Manisaspor got over the shock, Ibrahim Kas headed in his second goal off Delgado’s cross from the right flank to complete the scoring in the first half.

Visitors pulled one back in the 83rd to trim the deficit to 4-1. Pilip Holosko sealed the game’s fate with an injury time goal, as the Black and White cruised to a 5-1 win.

The Black and White finished regular season in the third place with 73 points and earned the right to representing the country in the UEFA cup next season.
